    finally iplayer on xbox!

    According to bbcnews iplayer has finally landed on the xbox360, think it's for all , not just gold.


    Just trying it now, picture quality is good, and there is a HD option.

    Now all thats needed is an app for live tv (similar to the Sky app but for BBC One etc). Something like TVCatchup but for the Xbox!

    But yeah, really happy about iPlayer.

    Hi Flibb, do you have a link for this announcement please? It's not that I don't believe you - honest .
    I'd like to forward it on to some of my friends who have xboxes, but can't find a source for this.
    Thanks very much!

    On the Dashboard, navigate over to 'tv' or 'video' and there should be an option to install iPlayer.

    Works great

    Re: finally iplayer on xbox!

    Would be great if the iPlayer didn't show for me like a slideshow. Just like normal Xbox dashboard videos. 10 seconds of buffering to every 2 seconds of video.
    Makes me sad

    It's a bit rubbish really, no match of the day! Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

    Sweet. Thanks for the heads up OP.

    Not sure where my original post went. Someone deleted it for some reason...
